August 30, 200124 yr Is there a forum for applescript similar to the FM Forums? I have an applescript triggering a FM script that works on a timed basis. The problem is that it goes at seemingly sporatic times also. The part in question is "set TS to time string of mydate if TS contains "9:4" and TS contains "AM" then set BS to true else if TS contains "12:4" and TS contains "PM" then set BS to true else if TS contains "3:4" and TS contains "PM" then set BS to true else if TS contains "7:4" and TS contains "PM" then set BS to true end if if BS then tell application "FileMaker Pro" ...." the time is checked every 600 seconds.
August 30, 200124 yr the bulletin board at http://www.macscripter.net is a good start and is usually good advice. You could also of course look at apple's discussion forums which are a little light on in technical depth you'll find it at http://discussions.info.apple.com
September 28, 200124 yr AppleScript patiently waits for free processor time so timing is always an estimate. If you want to trigger events at exact times take a look at PowerKey Pro. Outstanding product that I've used for years in various incarnations http://www.sophisticated.com If you're REALLY into accurate time take a look at Vremya at http://www.lava.net/%7Ekirill/software/vremya.html
